And what codes are in the engine and gearbox?

No codes or warning lights.....the car just got very hot after a while at 50 MPH, which is 5000 rpm in second gear.

If the gearbox was in limp, which sounds like it was if it just picked 1 gear, there will be codes in the gearbox.

I'll take another look.

Hooked up the Maxiscan 509, which was kindly given to me by an OOF member.

No codes  either stored or pending.

Can that do gearbox, as its just a OBDII scanner...

Probably three figures, more than the car is worth.

WBAC say she is worth £1160.....which is 4 figures.

Future classic......£1160 is not nearly enough.

Absolutely no idea.

All I know is there are no new/old or pending codes.

10ltrs of ATF should be about £70 depending on your choice and 1 hour at you local £60 per hour man and you get change for a pint and a pie out of £150 and the knowledge that you have done the gearbox a good turn.

Slightly more if you get the sump dropped and filter replaced .

A man of your wealth is just pocket change

For my amusement I thought I'd contact my local Vauxhall dealer.

So....7 litres of ATF at £15 per litre plus the VAT comes to £126.

Add 2 hours of labour at £135 P/H plus VAT  comes to £324.

Total....£450.

I would just leave it if it's working ok. Then the collective that is OOF can collectively piss ourselves when you get stuck in second miles from home and chant "Told you to get it done, tight arse"
